STATus:ALARm:ENABle?

This command returns the Alarm Status Enable Register (see STATus:ALARm:ENABle

<num> command below).
Example: STAT:ALAR:ENAB?
Response: 32

STATus:ALARm:ENABle <num>|MIN|MAX|DEF

This command sets the Alarm Status Enable Register. This register determines which

event bits of the Alarm Status Event Register affect the Alarm Status Bit of the Status

Byte Register. If any bit in the Alarm Status Event Register is set (1) while its

corresponding mask bit in the Alarm Status Enable Register is set, the Alarm Status Bit in

the Status Byte Register will be set. The value of the <num> parameter is a number from

0 to 63 that is the sum of the binary-weighted values of each mask bit. The Alarm Status

Event Register is described in Section 8.4.11.9, STATus:ALARm?. The following

example causes the Alarm Status Bit in the Status Byte Register to be set when a power

failure alarm has been triggered.
Example: STAT:ALAR:ENAB 32
Response: 32

STATus:MEASure?

This command reads and clears the Measure Status Event Register. The value returned

indicates the condition of each of the eight bits of the register by adding the binary-

weighted values of each bit. The meaning of each bit, when set (1), is as follows where 0

is the least significant and 7 is the most significant:

0:

no measurement.

Bit 0

Channel 1 temperature
measure bit.

Bit 1

Channel 1 humidity measure
bit.

Bit 2

Channel 2 temperature
measure bit.

Bit 3

Channel 2 humidity measure
bit.

Bit 4

Not used.

Bit 5

Not used.

Bit 6

Not used.

Bit 7

Not used.

Example: STAT:MEAS?
Response: 3

STATus:MEASure:CONDition?

This command reads the Measurement Status Condition Register. Reading this register

does not affect it. The value returned indicates the condition of each of the eight bits of

the register by adding the binary-weighted values of each bit. The meaning of each bit,

when set (1), is as follows where 0 is the least significant and 7 is the most significant:

0:

no measurement

Bit 0

Channel 1 temperature
measure bit.

Bit 1

Channel 1 humidity measure
bit.

Bit 2

Channel 2 temperature
